Mobile network didn't work for me on (Texas)Ice Cream Sandwich

I don't have any Mobile network on Rebuild of Evervolv-Perdo-2.1.0p2-passion
But I don't have enough posts to ask on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366897
Anyone have the same problem like me ???Need some help

You have to search for network twice. It will fail first time .. it will also complain 2nd time with "No network found" error but you'll see the network status icon on the notification bar.

you may have ongoing problems with this until 3.0 kernel is out
I have issues with every build and sometimes takes numerous tries and sometimes doesn't work. This is well documented in thread--

Install the latest ROM (p3) from this thread, it solved the mobile network issue. Auto connects on reboot. I'm enjoying it

I tried a couple of the ICS roms (they are pretty much identical) but did find many features lacking, app support and hardware support are the biggest issues so far. The 3.0 Kernel will fix a lot of those when drivers have support. I tried the supposed fixed version but my phone network wouldn't connect at all even trying automatic selection. Then again I wasn't exactly impressed with ICS either mostly the UI changes that just don't seem to fit in with phones. ICS looks like a bad port of a tablet OS and I guess that's what it is.

I had all kinds of issues with the p3 build (miniskirt). Overall slow performance, market and gtalk missing, people app not logging in, stuck notifications, broken a2sd etc.
I am sticking with p2 for awhile.

I keep getting a prompt requesting a reboot because the sim card was added. If I press the back key, it just works anyway.

@shahrier: guess the miniskirt version doesn't include gtalk, market etc. Also I was not using miniskirt versions (was on custom blackrose since quite some weeks).
Anyway, let's hope for a p4 or p5 build with working camera

Well, rapmv78 has already given us N1 geeks the perfect New Years gift. ICS on the NexusOne is now effectively feature complete with proof-of-concept camera. As of now, running the p4 build with the camera hack (in TexasIce's thread). Yes, lots of crashes and freezes but its a small price to pay to live on the bleeding edge!
Mobile network autoconnect works, but I'm experiencing soft-reboots periodically, and then a prompt to reboot due to SIM reinsertion or something, which I can surprisingly ignore by hitting the back button. This could be because I didn't wipe my data partition while upgrading from p3. Or the camera hack.
Anyone else experience this? Possible solutions?
EDIT: Fix for mobile network on p2 (atleast for 5.08.004 radio) - While selecting network, hit 'Select Automatically'. It will show an error prompt. Do not touch anything. Within ten seconds, your network should connect automatically. Hit the back button and start making calls and sending texts!

The full p3 (as well as p4) build is much better it seems like compared to miniskirt version. So yeah go with one of those builds if you want auto network connectivity. Oh and camera kind of works now with the work that rampv78 did. Follow these steps to get camera working on p3/p4 build:

Also, if u haven't been following, there are some solutions to try for soft reboot problems - disable lock screen, move dalvik to internal, remove ext partition). Strangely one solution works for one person.
Looks like moving dalvik to internal, fixed the reboot issues for me (no reboot since 10 hours)

[Q] Screen mirroring Note 3 and Netgear PVT3000 PVT-3000

I have largely very few issues while using the Netgear PVT3000 with my Windows 8 laptop but have severe lag/pauses/drop outs with the Note 3. I also tried the Note 3 yesterday with a 2013 Samsung TV and things were better but still very laggy and with drop outs. In both cases things get better after a few minutes of the connection but eventually collapse. The common factor here is the note 3 and perhaps using miracast as opposed to Intel Widi protocol. All of this has been done within very close range and full bars being reported so signal strength isn't the issue. As there are no options to play with it kind of works or doesn't work - in this case it doesn't.
Wondered if anyone else has had more luck or has some suggestion because this is stopping me from becoming much less reliant on my laptop.

Ask another way: Has anyone had good success with wireless display and if so with which receiver?

I tried them with multiple at work and it does work but there is atleast a 1 second delay

which firmware are you using?
Since you guys at least seem to have it working maybe you could help me...
I can't get screen mirroring to work.
The PVT acts like it is going to connect but then it freezes on "Connecting to the wireless display device..." even though my phone says the connection is good.
It shipped to me with 2.4.26 already on it and I am having a hard time getting any other firmware to load. It seems to always fail.
Netgear support is being pretty useless on it since Note 3 isn't officially supported but it did the same thing with my GF's Note II.

There isn't much that should stop some kind of connection being established one the dongle has had a minute to boot - the obvious one is to disable the power saving option on the note 3.
I'm very disappointed and surprised more people aren't doing widi mirroring and reporting issues with it.

I agree. Would really like to know what firmware is working for anyone with Note 3. I thought there may be a custom version floating around. Which version are you guys on?
My latest update from Netgear is they want to do a hardware RMA. I'm not entirely convinced that it is hardware but there's no other posts about this that I can find.
I tried every firmware on their site and got the same result with Note 2 and 3.

RMA will be pointless, I've got two pvt3000s - both with the same issue with the galaxy note 3.

Got onto Netgear who advised me to try different firmwares and I went for v2.4.3 and found that it eliminated all of the drop out and most of the timing issues (except for youtube which lags 2-3 seconds behind what is happening on the phone but as the sound and video are sync'd, it's not really a problem).

Are you on a completely stock ROM or a custom? I cannot get it to connect. Always freezes.

I'm on stock. Is your power saving turned off?

Yes power saving is turned off.
I was on a mostly stock rooted rom. Now I even went back to unrooted stock rom. Obviously my Knox is tripped but everything else is bone stock. It still won't connect. Going to scour xda today too see if there's some patch for mirrorcast for if you have ever rooted

How are you enjoying Android N? It's a great software match for the hardware.

Since release 2 of the N dev preview, I've really been pretty impressed with the stability and features, especially multi-windows. I seem to use that on a daily basis, either referencing 1 window while I do something on another window, or just 1/2 watching some vid while I do something else. The size of the Pixel C seems to work well with the multi windows, I have the feature on my 6P rom but don't use it anywhere as much.
The quick tiles and notifications are also decent. Usually the very 1st thing I do id unlock and root, but I've felt no need to do so. The apps I use have all worked, I know some folks had issues with some.
Also, the OTA install was also excellent, as easy as it gets.
How are you all liking N?

I'm really getting on with it, too. I think the testament to the OS is that it seems a bit more intuitive. Much like you were saying about not rooting, I don't feel the need to with the Pixel C at this point.
I also enjoy the fluidity of the OS in comparison to MM, it just seems smoother.

Does the OTA update from stock 6.0 work?
Does it still wipe all data from the tablet?
thanks

I'm wracking my brain to try and remember if it wiped my data and I just can't remember. Sorry.
Here is what I did; I signed up for the dev beta, then took the upgrade more or less like an OTA from 6.0 and it worked great! No flashing, nothing. Heck I didn't even put in a custom recovery. It took a little to download and install. I just can't remember if it asked me to restore all my apps and I said yes or it was still there.
I'm pretty sure it would say something about deleting all your data, but again I'm just not remembering. If you get it, please come back and let us know.

The beta program wipes data completely. It is like a typical fullvwipe or in HTC terms, a RUU.

I think I didn't have a full wipe when I changed to N.

AFAIK the OTA doesn't wipe your data. Flashing via fastboot wipes. They also started releasing flashable zips beginning with Dev Prev 2, which also don't wipe. Idk if you can just flash that zip over Marshmallow.

as to the OP query, I like it a lot. I'm impressed by the options and, much more so, by the stability.

I needed to revert because mtp file transfer didn't work. Also every time I connected the tablet on adb it was immediately forcefully shutdown and couldn't start until I plugged the cable.
Other than that, I didn't find an option to enable usb tether....but then again I didn't find this option in marshmallow (afterwards)...what the **** google?
Oh and mtp is also extremely unreliable back on marshmallow. I don't know what the **** they did with this tablet. I believe I will jump on the next tablet bandwagon if I happen to see one....

OTA to Android N is non-disruptive. The way back is.
I have many issues with Android N but cannot go back because of the full wipe.
I hoped that I will be able to use non tablet apps in the half screen mode but that does not work. I am loosing sound when disconnecting headphones. Some apps crash. You Tube cannot specify quality setting, public wifi hot spot without Internet connectivity drains battery quickly.
I regret my decision of installing Android N.

There was way too many non compatible apps for my liking with N. Firefox would always crash, widgets wouldn't work with certain apps, I'd get random freezes, the Youtube app seemed jacked kinda, and overall...I thought the tablet seems LESS responsive. I switched back to MM.
Dude, all you have to do is back up all your data to Google (you can enable it in the Backup & Restore) Drive. When you opt out of the Beta it sends you an OTA file for MM. When it uninstalls N and reinstalls MM it literally finds the fact that you reset your tablet back to MM and re-installs everything for you. It worked flawlessly for me last night. Wasn't a pain in the butt in the slightest.

Actually at the end I reverted back to Android. You are right that all apps are automatically reinstalled however they are not configured, and you loose any local data.

I'm running Android N and want to use Smart Lock, but whenever I try setting Smart Lock or a trusted device, location, etc, it says I can't utilize Smart Lock because my device is encrypted. I've never setup encryption, and I can't remove encryption either. I can't even activate OK Google from any screen, and it's all because of the encryption. Is this a mandatory feature of Android N?

Has anyone got OK Google to work on all screens and lockscreen?

Google N is good but this is a preview issue so there's a fair few bugs within, e.g. YouTube crashing, low benchmark scores, dual screen having limited functionality and random error codes when opening apps.
I've reverted to MM and the process was super simple.
I'll wait for the third iteration and see if that irons out these issues, but N is very promising and I feel it'll really help release the potential of this tablet.

I just ordered my tablet and it shipped today. I was wondering if it is worth updating to Android N right away or stick with marshmallow

Stick with mm if u seek stability
Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

I'm enjoying it but where is the May stability update?

It worked well for me. Only real problem I had was app compatibility. Use it as a media device, so HBO GO, Hulu, TNT, etc crashing on me led me to revert. Can't wait for N to be finalized and apps to be made compatible with split screen.

Charging probelms (plus more) after Oreo update

I updated my S8 to Oreo a few weeks back (Samsung Experience 9.0) and ever since I have a plethora of problems.
The main one being that charging the device is now a battle...
I seem to have narrowed it down to using a fast charge power brick (2.0A)
I have tried the official Samsung unit and cable supplied with the phone, and good quality 3rd party cables and plugs....nothing works.
The device does not even register the cables existence.
BUT,
If I use a standard plug (< 2.0A), and a none Samsung cable it will charge
If I use a Samsung cable, it does not. Seemingly regardless of plug.
I've also noticed that the battery life has significantly reduced, come noon time, the deice is ready to be charged, showing less than 50% having been sat on my desk, with little to no use. (I only charge it at this point as I know it wont make it the rest of the day)
Some other issues I've noticed since the Oreo update...Wi-Fi seems choppy, slow and laggy, and I quite often get the " ! " next to the signal status bar icon.
And almost 100% of the time if I try to cast to one of my Chromecast or Google Home devices, the S8 does not see them (connected to same Wi-Fi SSID), meaning if I open Google Home app, and click top right to see my devices, they are....sometimes disabling and re-enabling Wi-Fi will fix this.
I spoke to what Samsung call their 'Tech Support' and it was beyond a joke...their solution...."Turn the phone off and on"...that was it, they could / would not offer any more support than this, and also claimed that I was the only 1 reporting this / these "potential issues"
I had another update pushed to my S8 yesterday (14.05.2018) which according to the docs was released 10.05.18 - G950FXXU1CRD7
This has not helped with anything....
Has anyone else had any of these or similar problems following Oreo update?
Does anyone know of any 'fix' if so?
TIA

Google Play downloads at crawling speeds

My Google play downloads over WiFi very quickly hit 15mb then at about 18mb there's a slow down and by 20mb I have a crawl in speed if any movement at all. Often I have to toggle WiFi just to finish downloading an app, unless it's under 20mb. If it's under then no problems are apparent. This problem was the same at my work place wifi.
I have now factory reset, and it's frustrating to download anything over 20mb. Nothing has changed. I don't believe this problem occurred before the final updates to the phone, when I transferred from another Android. I had to factory reset and start new without transferring settings due to a screen timeout glitch preventing me from changing dim settings. This makes me feel like it has something to do with the update to a newer build.
I don't seem to have this issue with browser downloads or speed tests. Does anyone have an idea about the problem?

Same issue. I can flip over to LTE and it works fine and then back to WIFI which works for a few apps and then completely stalls again (estimated an hour to download Amazon Shopping).
Just got the phone yesterday, so not sure what is going on or if this is a new problem. Just trying to set it up for the first time.

Switching over to LTE works fine. Plowed through the rest of my Play Store Apps. Switching back to WiFi brought along the same issues again.
Everything else on the phone via WiFi is fine. Netflix, Hulu, everything.

This isnt an essential problem but a google related issue with the july update

Try turning off wmm on your router and see if that helps. Just remember you did as it may wonk your voip calling when your connection is under load.

Thanks joewoo. Maybe I'll hang on to this phone and keep an eye out for this being fixed.
Codeworks, seems like we have an identical problem. I'll let you know if I find a fix. I'm in talks with tech support currently. Waiting for them to respond to my currently escalated case with them. Let me know what you find.
I'll try the other suggestions.

This is a known issue I've seen others complaining about elsewhere on the web. Common factor for most has been the July security update. I thought I'd try out the Android p beta 2 and it's doing it there as well.

I noticed it takes a long time to start the download. Once it starts it goes normal. It's as if Google is doing some security scanning or WiFi check or reworking the app for your download..... But wasn't doing it on my Moto X Pure with 7.1 yesterday.

I'm seeing this behavior outside of Google Play as well. I can't download any file larger than 25-30 MBs from Google Drive without the download stalling. I guess doing a hard reset won't fix anything so I'm not sure if there's anything to do except wait for the next monthly patch.

Or you could completely ignore the post 3 above you where he references WMM and your router...
If what I read is correct... Google did the stupid in prioritizing Android downloads... So your router things it's basically junk, thanks to WMM... Turn it off...
Or don't... I don't really care

What's with the attitude? I missed that. I'm sooooo sorry. Jeez. S8+ works fine. I guess I don't really care either.

I dont think it is a Google problem. When I download podcasts using wifi in Castbox, I have the same issue.

Just installed Android P on my new Essential Phone and the restore from Google Play already takes hours for 120 Apps...
Download of a single App from the Play Store takes over 20 minutes..

I've tried the WMM, turned it off on my nighthawk router, and it doesn't work.
also this issue also happens on a fresh install of android p

I have lg 5x and ph1. my ph1 has the exact same problem (75k to 18mb fast, then slow, then crawl). 5x has no problem. could be oreo issue?
I do not want to mess with my router since everything else works great. but i might try it. it's not like i'm afraid to but more like a hassle and then i'll have three upset women on my back until it's back up

WMM setting on Asus router has no effect.

Same issue as others reported; anything under ~20MB downloads quickly, past that the download speed is limited to about 100 KB/s.
EDIT: I want to point out that downloading any file, from any server (including e.g. a large document from OneDrive) halts to a crawling speed of just 100 KB/s after about 20MB. I tested my other devices on the same network (a Windows PC and a Moto Z2 Force), and those other devices don't have this issue. There must be something wrong with Essential's last update.

I had the same experience. It wasn't even enabled on my router. Both my Samsung devices (Tab S2 and S8+) work without issue. I rolled back to 8.1 for other reasons and it's still not working correctly so it may be related to the July patch as others have suggested. Having said that though, my S8+ is on the July patch as well so who knows? Maybe just an Essential issue? Hopefully it will be addressed in the next patch.

I am seeing this issue on AOSiP, not running Essential stock. On downloads (AFH, opengapps.org) and Play Store. And I don't think it has to do with the July security patch because the same downloads on my OP3T (AOSiP w/ July security patch) do not show the same issue.
I can reproduce it every time on the PH-1 when trying to download opengapps using Opera browser. The download is wire speed, then slows to ~100KB/s. Interestedly enough, the downloads from opengapps.org don't seem to have the issue using Chrome (9 of 10 times it is full speed for the entire download).
It seems like it is device related, but since I am running a custom ROM I can't exactly call for technical support. I am hoping someone finds out what the core issue is...
Does anyone know if the baseband was updated in the June/July release?
